Founded by Jeffrey L. Fazio and Dina E. Micheletti in 2003 after their tenure at a mid-size San Francisco firm, Fazio | Micheletti LLP (FM) has built a distinguished reputation for successfully prosecuting challenging cases against some of the largest corporations in the United States.

​

The firm's practice is focused primarily on consumer protection through class-action lawsuits addressing automotive defects, as well as other products and services. Those cases typically involve claims of fraud, false advertising, breaches of warranty, and/or unfair competition. FM also has extensive experience with shareholder derivative litigation.

 

FM's attorneys have consistently demonstrated their ability to manage resource-intensive litigation efficiently by leveraging advanced technology solutions throughout the process of complex litigation.

​​

FM has served as lead or co-lead counsel in numerous high-profile cases that have resulted not only in significant monetary recoveries but also meaningful injunctive relief benefiting consumers nationwide. The firm's approach to pre-filing investigations is rigorous, supported by leading technical experts; the strategic use of electronic discovery; meticulous preparation of pleadings, motions, and trial briefs; active participation at trial; effective negotiation tactics; and continued advocacy through settlement administration.

 

With more than 50 years of combined experience between its principals —and a proven track record of achieving substantial outcomes—FM remains committed to providing exceptional representation for consumers harmed by corporate wrongdoing, and to using creativity and imagination to provide clients with truly effective advocacy and successful results -- while keeping its integrity firmly intact.
